Twilight Sweethearts: Forbidden Fruits
With the wild popularity of the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer, it was only a matter of time before the first book was made into a movie. And of course its success means a licensing agreement was reached for some candy.
Considering the fact that the story (I'm doing spoilers here) is about vampires and love, candy hearts are a natural choice.
Necco's Sweetheart conversation hearts were released as a limited edition: Sweethearts Forbidden Fruits. Instead of just getting a box branded with a few characters on it and maybe some new sayings, these little hearts are also in different flavors themed for forbidden fruits plus have some sort of sparkling Dracula dust (pearlescent pigment) on them.
The candy seems to have been timed with the DVD release, not with the film in the theaters. Still, I never did find them in stores (perhaps I should have been looking in video stores, but I have a Netflix subscription ... which makes me think there should be a Netflix for candy).
The candy hearts don't look terribly different from the regular Valentine's version. Except the colors are different. The pearly coating (that looks like it's glitter on the box) is pretty darn mild, I mistook it for chalky powder.
The flavors are:
The sayings on the hearts vary in their legibility. They seem to be lighter but clearer on the pearly ones but bold & smudgy on the uncoated.
Sayings that I was able to tease out were: Soul Mate, Bite Me, Secret, I (heart) EC, Live 4 Ever, Dazzle, With You, Lamb, Bad Guy, You R My Life, Always, I Trust You, I Love You, Forks.
Oddly enough, as noted above in the photo, some were blank. I didn't know if this was intentional, like some sort of heart that only vampires could read. Or maybe there's a version of the Twlight books that are choose your own adventure and I'm in charge of this heart's message.
As far as a limited edition offering, they're a rather bland revision of conversation hearts, but they're rather ordinary to begin with. The execution of the lettering and the "dazzle dust" were weak. But I liked the box design (though I've only seen this one in person) and think that it'd be a fun item to have while watching the movie with friends. (As long as you had some snacks on hand that were actually good to eat.)
Like all Necco conversation hearts, these have gelatin in them, so are unsuitable for vegetarians/vegans/those who keep Kosher or otherwise eschew pork. (I have no idea how the Twilight vampires feel about pigs.)

Hershey's Whatchamacallit & Thingamajig
Hershey's Whatchamacallit was introduced in 1978. I remember the launch, the commercials and buying the candy bar quite a bit in the first few years when it came out.
It was a peanut butter & crisped rice bar covered in milk chocolate. It was simple, crunchy, looked really big and was satisfying.
Hershey's has never seemed particularly proud or supportive of the Whatchamacallit. Their advertising for it waned after the eighties; maybe they wanted to go out on a bang with this classic commercial:
The Hershey's website lists only four notable moments in Whatchamacallit history: introduction (1978), reformulation (1987), package redesign & king size release (2002). You can see the earlier, less "blasty" package design on Brad Kent's wrapper archive and Mike's Candy Wrappers (2002 & 2003)
The page mentions nothing about the second reformulation where the bar lost its milk chocolate and gained its rich chocolatey coating (circa 2006).
So you can imagine how surprised I was to see that the Whatchamacallit earned a Limited Edition version, called Thingamajig.
This bar is made with chocolate, cocoa crisps and peanut butter. At first glance it sounds like it might be the original Whatchamacallit, the one without the caramel (well, that also had real chocolate).
Instead it's a block of cocoa flavored crisped rice covered with a strip of peanut butter and then covered in Hershey's inimitable imitation chocolate.
As with many limited edition products, this bar is slightly smaller than the original. It's 1.5 ounces versus the 1.6 ounces of the Whatchamacallit.
Whatchamacallit on the left and Thingamajig on the right
It's hard to review the Thingamajig in a vacuum, so naturally I'm comparing it to the Whatchamacallit. I'm also prone to wondering if, when Hershey's was developing the Whatchamacallit, that they didn't go through this bar as part of the evolution of the new product, obviously rejecting it.
The Thingamajig has a nice cocoa scent along with a whiff or roasted peanuts. It's not quite a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup smell, but pretty close.
The bit into the bar is a quick snap, biting through the cocoa crispies is easy, they're crunchy but have plenty of give since they don't seem to be held together by marshmallow or peanut butter like the Whatchamacallit.
The mockolate coating is rather good ... I have to give Hershey's credit, their fake chocolate can often be better than some other companies' real chocolate. The cocoa flavors from the crispy center probably help.
The peanut butter is a bit salty, creamy and smooth (smoother than a peanut butter cup center).
Overall, it's a nice experience ... probably not something I'd want again. I'm not sure why Hershey's did it, but they're not really taking any credit for it (they never emailed me about it, it doesn't appear on their website) and it will probably disappear without any fanfare as well.
Rating: 6 out of 10
As a little side note, since I've never done an official review of the Whatchamacallit (which by now I'm rather dreading typing), I thought I'd add that here:
The bar smells like cocoa and toffee. The peanut butter crisped rice center is great. It's buttery, salty, crunchy and has a good roasted nut flavor and a strong butter/dairy note to it. The caramel, though only a very thin layer, gives it a bit of a chew that holds it together in the mouth. The mockolate coating is creamy and melts well but offers no chocolate flavors here ... just a sealant for the crispy bar.
Rating: 6 out of 10
But most of all, I have to wonder why the Whatchamacallit isn't a Reese's branded product, getting the full benefit of the peanut butter branding.
I was really late in finding these bars in my area. Here are some other opinions on them: AV Club Taste Test (also a head to head), Cocoa-Heaven (head to head) and Candy Yum Yum.

Cadbury Easter Mallows
Cadbury does more for Easter than just the Mini Eggs and Creme Eggs, but we see little of that in the United States. I was lucky to find these imported goodies at my local Cost Plus World Market.
This tray of Limited Edition Easter Mallows is huge. Even though it only weighs 5.29 ounces, the large tray made it look like there was a lot of candy in here.
The clear tray holds the 10 chocolate covered marshmallow domes. They're cradled well, and though a few of mine were cracked (could have been me treating the package roughly), none of them were leaking.
The candy construction is simple. A round cookie (biscuit) base with a dollop of Jaffa orange jam, then a heap of marshmallow, all covered in Cadbury milk chocolate.
They're about 1.75 inches in diameter and about .75 inches high. The bite is soft and the chocolate shell is crisp and adheres pretty well to the marshmallow.
They smell like dairy milk chocolate before biting, but after biting through to the jam center, it's definitely orange. The flavor of the jam is rather like marmalade, with a strong zest component along with some sweet syrup and tangy juice to it. The cookie base is soft and crumbly, like a graham cracker. The marshmallow, though soft and passable didn't do much for me one way or the other. The milk chocolate coating is very sweet and has a dried milk flavor to it.
On the whole, these are very appealing. I really liked the flavorful punch of the center much better than the filled marshmallows I've had from Asia.
They were expensive though, at $2.99 for the tray (but I felt like I've been leaving my UK reader friends out lately). I'm not quite sure what makes them an Easter candy (maybe if they were egg shaped) or if there's a non-Easter version that these are based on. The Cadbury site was no help. (But I did find out that these are sold at Aldi in the UK.)
Each Easter Mallow has 65 calories.
The gelatin is made from pork, so these are definitely not Halal, Kosher or vegetarian.

Reese's Crunchy (Limited Edition)
This is the third time I've bought the Limited Edition Milk Chocolate Reese's Crunchy Peanut Butter Cups.
I faithfully photographed the first package, but then ate them.
The second one, well, that was a King Sized version that I didn't photograph, but then ate and realized that the proportions were different.
Then yesterday I was browsing my local 99 Cent Stores (yes, two of them, as they are less than a block apart and carry different stuff), I saw boxes and boxes of these. Since the expiration says 9K (November 2009), I figured they were well worth the 39 cents just so I could get these off my chest.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups made with crunchy peanut butter are not new. I remember them from the 90s and found this wrapper on Brad Kent's site. Apparently they were also available in Canada, according to this wrapper on Mike's Candy Bar Wrappers. This version is not to be confused with the Limited Edition Reese's Big Cup with Nuts, which had whole nuts, not crushed ones.
They look, pretty much, like regular Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Fresh and nutty smelling, the tops were pristine on my most recent purchase (no oily puddles).
The chocolate is sweet and cool on the tongue, the peanut butter is immediately salty. The texture is the same as the regular cups except there are some big chunks of peanuts mixed in.
Most peanut butters are offered as either smooth or chunky, so it's a natural evolution that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups would come that way as well.
I liked these, I think they should be a regular item, but at the moment, if you have a 99 Cent Only Store the price is pretty darn good for fresh product. When those are gone, we can just wait for yet another limited edition or seasonal introduction. (I am kind of curious to try this crunchy style with the Easter favorite, the Egg.)
Other more timely reviews: Gigi Reviews, Candy Addict, Hanna Aronovich, The Chocolate Traveler and ZOMG Candy.
Side note: I saw a oodles of the now hard-to-find Reese's Bars at the Fairfax & 6th 99 Cent Store.

Short & Sweet: Bites & Bites
I have more candy than I will ever be able to review at my pace of 5-7 products a week. Here are a few items I've tasted recently and some notes on them (most gratuitous photos). So here are some small bites of a whole week's worth of candy. Get ready to scroll!
I visited with Anne Hickey and the Plush Puffs' crew when I was at the Fancy Food Show. At closing time they gave me a box of their Vanilla Bean Marshmallows. It's new packaging for them, which I really like. It's still spare and highlights the product well.
But what I liked best is that they've made the marshmallows a bit smaller. Now they're 1" cubes instead of the larger version I tried several years ago. This means that when toasted the center gets molten before the outside catches on fire. (There are important physical laws that even marshmallows must obey.)
The box has been sitting next to my stove top and some evenings I'll toast up two or three for dessert on the gas burner. It makes the house smell wonderful.
I visited a few times with Seth Ellis Chocolatier while at the Fancy Food Show. They had a lovely array of samples, but for some reason I eschewed their truffles and became obsessed with their Candied Lemons.
It' might be because they're so beautiful.
Perhaps it's because of this little nugget from their website, "We candy the freshest organic lemon slices slowly, over twenty-five days, using a traditional European method to preserve the intense lemon flavors."
The box contains one full lemon slice plus and extra quarter. Special bonus, the packaging is made with wind power (well, that and some tree pulp).
The candying doesn't make the peel as soft as some others, but then again, sometimes that makes them gummy and flavorless. This definitely has a bitter bite and because the pulp is also still there, it's quite tangy. The dark chocolate is creamy and also has a woodsy bite to it.
I must have been obsessed with lemon and lemongrass at the Fancy Food Expo because the other item I knew I had to bring home was L'Estasi Dolce Sweet Ecstasy Lemongrass Ginger Truffles.
Lemongrass is a bit of a strange flavor. I love it in Thai cooking (hot & sour soup especially). It imparts the zesty notes of lemon peel, but it has a soft side to it as well, that I can only compare to bubble gum.
These nicely sized truffles are a real ganache made with lots of real cream.
The center is soft and silky with an immediate soft flavor of lemongrass. Then there's the warming power of the ginger. The woodsy ginger flavors never come forward, it's just that little burn in the background. This all combines well with the slight dairy flavor of the cream and the mellow dark chocolate.
One of the Fancy Food Show items I mentioned in my show notes was Rubicon Bakery.
They not only make all natural, wholesome products right here in the United States, their mission is to help people in need by giving job training, jobs placement assistance to work their way out of poverty.
The package pictured here is a mock up used for the distribution of the samples, the real thing is much nicer.
Their Strawberry CocoaBerries may put them on the map even without the amazing backstory.
They're little meringue kisses, a little larger than a Hershey's Kiss. The center is a crunchy fluffed egg white made flavorful by the addition of gobs of real freeze dried strawberries. To seal in the crispness, they're dipped in bittersweet Guittard chocolate.
The freaky part about the whole combination is that it's so tasty & satisfying yet so low in calories. They say that a serving of five is only 90 calories (about 100 calories per ounce, amazing for a chocolate product). So even if you ate a whole box of 15 bites, you're still under the 300 mark of most king sized candy bars.
SFGate wrote about them last week too, those lucky dogs, it's a local company for them.
Lest you think that everything is a rave and everything is from the Fancy Food Show, I thought I'd mention the Limited Edition Andes Mocha Mint Indulgence.
These candies have single-handedly caused me to swear off of all Andes products except for the original Creme de Menthe.
While I rail against mockolate, I recognize it has its place and there are a few products that I like and still eat that have it. (Goldenberg's Peanut Chews & Hershey's 5 Avenue.)
The Mocha Mint Indulgence is a freak product. I don't even know what it is. The pieces are ugly (sorry, no photo of the interior, this is supposed to be a tantalizing post). Putty brown mockolate over a layer of mint green confection like the center of the regular Andes.
It smells like minted cardboard. The texture is like grainy wax. The flavor is like musty Christmas candles found in a drawer at an estate sale.
To close is something to restore our confidence in nuts: Ococoa Nut Butter Cups made right here in Los Angeles by Diana Malouf. I picked them up from her in person before Christmas but never go around to posting the review.
More than just gourmet peanut butter cups, these are tall cups filled with exotic nut butters & fruits. The flavor array is: Classic Peanut Butter, Pistachio Date, Sesame Fig, Hazelnut Chocolate, Almond Cherry, Cashew Apricot, Marzipan Truffle, Macadamia Guava, and Sunflower Honey.
The box is elegant and substantial.
The cups are about an inch high with a cute ruffle of chocolate around the collar and an inch in diameter at the top.
They were a bugger to photograph the interior, luckily their website has the fantastic and accurate cross sections that you can peruse. This one is Guava jam & macadamia nut butter. Probably the best experience I've had with macadamias & guava, which aren't really my fave, but done very well here.
I was attracted most to the Sesame Fig, which I gobbled up after taking a photo. The sesame paste is combined with chocolate to create a sesame Nutella of sorts, though quite firm. Inside the center was a reservoir of fig jam. The toasted & grassy flavors of the sesame went well with the fresh & slightly tangy notes of the fig. Sunflower Honey was next on my hit list. Sunflower seeds have such a distinctive taste. This center was like a creamed honey with sunflower flavors.
Cashew Apricot was really decadent, as the apricot's pine-notes were offset by the deep toasted butter flavors of the cashews. The hazelnut was also stellar, the freshness of the nut butter was so different from many other guianduias I have regularly. (I shared some others and didn't take complete notes on the rest.)
Unlike many nut creations that rely on salt to bring the nut flavors forward, Ococoa lets the sweetness of the nuts come through. The only problem I had with these, if it could be called that, was the construction. The chocolate cap on the top was very thick, so biting the pieces in half wasn't very easy. While I don't think it's imperative that all chocolates be dissected, it meant that there was always a larger reservoir of chocolate at the end when sometimes I really wanted to end on a nut note.
They'll set you back $22 for a 9 piece box.
Candy Addict also had an excellent write up on these back in December.

Butterfinger Buzz (Caffeinated)
Nestle has jumped on the caffeination bandwagon introducing their Limited Edition Butterfinger Buzz.
I got a hold of the king size version (I don't know if it comes in the regular size) via Nestle's PR company who offered me some samples. I've been looking for them for about a month, as the Butterfinger Buzz Facebook page says they should be available at 7-11 and Walgreen's.
The name pretty much explains it all, it's a Butterfinger with extra caffeine. The king size version is two smaller bars - 3.75 inches long & 1.85 ounces each (a regular bar is 2.12 ounces).
The package is a little confusing. It says with as much caffeine as the leading energy drink. The whole package has 80 mg of caffeine (the same as an 8 ounce Red Bull). But the recommended portion is one half of the package which nets you 40 mg of caffeine. 40 mg is about the same caffeine as 3 ounces of brewed coffee.
The little bars are less than attractive. The mockolate coating isn't very chocolatey looking, it's much lighter than most milk chocolate and has a chalky, matte appearance instead of a silky & shiny look. It does smell a bit like cocoa and peanut butter with a small whiff of Cap'n Crunch cereal.
The crunchy peanut butter candy center is rather different from the regular Butterfinger. First, it's an unnatural red/orange color (thanks to Red 40!). It's also denser. I've eaten three of these bars, just in case it was just that one bar that was a little off from the norm. The middle half of the bar is more like a hard candy than the flaky peanut butter crisp.
Other than the color & texture difference, I can also state that there is a definite bitter bite to this. (Who knows if it's just the caffeine or and added contribution of the detestable red food coloring?) The bitterness lasts as a slight metallic aftertaste for several hours, at least for me. I don't have this problem with coffee, which also has caffeine and can often be bitter, but will fade away after I've swallowed it.
I know these will likely generate lots of interest, especially from students, gamers and long-haul truck drivers. It is nice to have the option to get a little candy boost with some caffeine. This integration didn't quite make the cut for me, though.
Mars introduced Snickers Charged around this time last year, which was 60 mg of caffeine as well as B vitamins & taurine.
Honestly, if Nestle wanted to impress me, they should make a gourmet Butterfinger, with some of their real Swiss chocolate. And I can have that with a cup of coffee and really a buzz going.

Japanese KitKats: Yuzu & Red Bean Soup
As a huge fan of citrus, I was immediately smitten with Yuzu. Though they look like bumpy, ugly grapefruits they're a bit more like tangerines.
I first experienced it in candy with the Yuzu HiCHEW and have eagerly consumed anything Yuzu I can get my hands on since. (And am considering planting a Yuzu tree in my back yard.)
So the Yuzu KitKat was enough to get me to place a pre-Christmas order with JBox. However, they were pretty expensive. $4.25 for 150 grams.
These little minis are two short fingers in a package (66 calories).
They smell like tangerines, chocolate and Cheerios.
The chocolate is rich and creamy and the zesty notes of Yuzu, which include grapefruit, mandarin, lime and tangerine come across immediately. The crunchy and bland wafers give it a bit of crunch. Towards the end there's even a little bit of a bitter aftertaste from the citrus zest.
One of my favorite Japanese KitKats ever.
Rating: 9 out of 10
Azuki beans are used to make many confections in Japan, including a thick and sweet paste filling for mochi and a dessert soup called Oshiruko. Oshiruko varies depending on where you get it, but the little picture on the box looks like a thin, sweet bean broth with azuki beans and a dumpling of mochi in the middle.
The first Azuki KitKat I had was a white chocolate version, so I was definitely curious to try the red bean and milk chocolate combo in the newest Limited Edition from Nestle Japan.
This is definitely the kind of KitKat that fits into my mantra of "open your mouth, expand your mind." Before I started my candy obsessed website I was pretty content with my American and sometimes Italian candies. I stuck to flavors and combinations that seemed logical to me. Combining beans and sugar (besides perhaps molasses baked beans) didn't seem very confectionery to me. But now that I've had a good amount of mochi and red bean caramels I can say that beans are a natural, earthy & textured base flavor for candy.
This KitKat comes in the lovely box that is common in the Asian KitKats. Each little portion holds a two fingered KitKat. The front of this wrapper also has the new style of nutritional labeling that includes the calories right there - 110.
They're glossy and pretty out of the mylar wrapper.
They smell like dirt. There are notes of freshly sawn wood, beets, caramel and rusted iron. It's quite a different experience.
The bite and textures are the same as other KitKats. The milk chocolate is sweet and pretty creamy. The wafers are light and crunchy. The flavor is just as it smells - beets, charcoal, a hint of milk chocolate and butterscotch pudding. The Azuki flavor doesn't quite make it in there, in fact, if I didn't know that it was a red bean KitKat I probably would have guessed beets.
It's not bad, a little bitter at times (which I don't usually experience with other red bean items) but overall a tasty experience.

Ghirardelli Holiday Squares
Ah, after Christmas sales. It's the best part of Candy Season - the Post Season Sales. After all, the candy is just as good two weeks after the holiday as it was two weeks before.
I checked through plenty of stores and found Walgreen's had the best selection by the time the 75% off discount came around. This is when I jump on items I only eye at full price and then hem and haw over at half off. One was this Ghirardelli Squares Limited Edition Holiday Chocolate Assortment. Full price was $8.99, so $2.24 for over nine ounces of chocolate sounded like a great deal even if it was seasonally themed.
The assortment includes Peppermint Bark, Egg Nog and Chocolate Pecan Pie.
Ghirardelli, I think, is known for their Peppermint Bark. It's one of the few brands that dependably makes the stuff and actually uses cocoa butter for their white chocolate.
The construction of the square is pretty simple. A milk chocolate base layer is covered with a minted white chocolate studded with little crunchies.
The scent isn't overpoweringly minty, which probably saves the other chocolates in the bag from tasting like mint, too.
The texture of the chocolates is smooth and silky, very sweet but not achingly so. The little crunchies in the white chocolate aren't crushed candy canes though, they're corn flake bits (colored red). The crunch is a bit more cereal than hard candy but still puffy.
It's kind of odd that this sort of confection isn't available year round, but since Ghirardelli has been bringing it back faithfully each winter, I shouldn't complain.
Of the three flavors in the bag, this was the one that sold me on it: Egg Nog.
It's just extra vanilla-y white chocolate (with real cocoa butter) and a visible dash of nutmeg.
I love the flavors of egg nog, but never really cared for sweet or thick drinks so the idea of a solid, melt-in-your-mouth version of it is ideal for me.
The square is a creamy yellow color and smells like nutmeg.
The white confection is sweet but pretty smooth and has the woodsy blast of nutmeg and tastes, like, well, Egg Nog. It could use a little more vanilla and maybe a slight hit of rum.
A real winner, if only because no one else makes a plain old white chocolate with nutmeg bar. Truffles, yeah, but not just a block of white chocolate. Great idea, well done, bring it back next year and I'll probably buy it before it goes on clearance.
One of the reasons I thought that this review, even at this late date, would still be of value is that the Chocolate Pecan Pie is not a limited edition item. It's available now as an individual bar or in single-flavor bags of the Squares. (Also, I don't think Pecan Pie has a season.)
This little milk chocolate square smells wonderful, like maple, hot chocolate and caramel.
The milk chocolate is smooth, though plenty sweet. Mixed in is a light crunch of toffee coated pecan bits. They have a little salty hit and of course the caramelized & buttery crunch of pecans.
(The photos make it look like the chocolate is bloomed, I don't think it was, I think it was the fatty pecans messing with the sheen of the chocolate. Mmm, fatty pecans.)
Overall, the array is fun and something I feel comfortable eating out of season at the moment. Especially because I love individually wrapped squares. A bonus is that a sandwich of the Egg Nog & Chocolate Pecan Pie actually go pretty well together. (But the Peppermint Bark doesn't work with either.)
The only thing that really bugged me was that the ingredients weren't listed separately for each of the squares. I was able to get the ingredients for the Peppermint Bark because it's sold separately, but I really like to know what's in items that I'm able to choose from a dish.

This is because they lead a lifestyle that implements what is known as Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a psychological theory that suggests that individuals are motivated by varying levels of need. When one level is satisfied, they move up to the next level. Scanners develop latent skills to create a robust resume with many vocational possibilities, while at the same time fulfilling a greater number of their personal needs. And scanning is not just for hard times; in fact, it could help you build wealth in any economic climate. (For more get-rich tips, see Getting A Millionaire's Mindset.)
Save. Invest. Repeat.
Robert G. Allen taught the concept of scanning to create wealth in his book, "Multiple Streams of Income" (2005). It's timely advice given today's economy. Allen's income recommendations include investing, entrepreneurship and lifetime passive income, among others. Many people are forced into scanning when they are laid off; they get creative, start their own businesses and hustle to make ends meet. Scanners tend to be ahead of they game: they already have ongoing alternate sources of income and are less likely to struggle. (Find out if you have what it takes to start your own business in Are You An Entrepreneur?)
Allen's mantra is "Save. Invest. Save. Invest." Income from multiple sources produces extra cash for investment. Scanners have the opportunity to increase their portfolios quicker if they have the discipline to put the money to work instead of spending it. The compounded growth helps them meet their goals sooner.
Multiple Income Sources Mean More Options
Scanners may also be more likely and more able to afford to start new business ventures. Earnings from one endeavor can be used to finance another. Self financing reduces the need for debt. For example, a scanner in the current economy might invest in rental properties and use the rent to buy advertising for a new internet business. (To learn more, read Three Simple Steps To Building Wealth.)
Residual income also allows scanners pursue their passions, as Barbara Sher suggests. If you are not struggling to make ends meet, you are more likely to create something - such as writing a book. If this venture is successful, you will be able to continue your scanning endeavors with the help of the income you receive in the form of commissions, royalties, license fees, etc.
How Do You Start?
Use hobbies and leisure activities to practice skills that can translate into new careers. Stretching existing skills and learning new ones increases personal value. The key to making multiple careers pay off is to continuously develop them to make sure they don't become rusty. For example, a computer programmer 10 years ago would have to be retrained to fit into today's IT environment - unless he stays connected with the computing world. Experts command higher salaries. Those who become experts in multiple fields and combine them can significantly increase their value to an employer. For example, the tech guru who also has well-developed sales skills has more options for earning a living.
Scanning requires good time management skills, discipline and the ability to handle change. You know you've become a scanner when someone asks you what you do for a living and you're unable to answer right away because you have too many sources of income to pinpoint just one.

by Griffin, W.E.B.
Publisher:Putnam Adult
By Order of the President, the first novel in W.E.B. Griffin's crackling new Presidential Agent series, won immediate acclaim from critics and fans alike.
Charley Castillo works with the Department of Homeland Security, but more and more he is the man to whom the president turns when he needs an investigation done discreetly. And no situation demands discretion more than the one before them now.
An American diplomat's wife is kidnapped in Argentina, and her husband murdered before her eyes. Her children will be next, she is warned, if she doesn't tell them where her brother is-a brother, as it turns out, who may know quite a bit about the burgeoning UN/Iraq oil-for-food scandal. There is an awful lot of money flying around, and an awful lot of hands reaching out to grab it-and some of those hands don't mind shedding as much blood as it takes.
Brimming with rich characters, strong action, and cutting-edge drama, this is Griffin writing at the height of his powers.

Why did you choose this product?
This is good looking, appears well made and has multiple uses in my house. You can sit on it, use it for its intended purpose as a footstool or a jumping off spot for the dogs. I would buy this again....
Genuine Leather Camel Ottoman (Morocco)
ITEM#: 11937494Product Features
- Ottoman was handcrafted by artisans in Morocco
- Makes a great addition to your living room furniture
- Ottoman features camel designs in beige and brown
- Measures 22 inches in diameter x 14 inches high
- Comes stuffed with no assembly required
- Made of 100-percent genuine leather
Within the city's medina (center of town), there is a souk (market) where most of the artisans work. This is also the center of trade for each city. Artisans who create Moroccan leather goods are predominantly male. Leather goods are made from Lambskin. The artisans live comfortably but modestly. Most do not own automobiles but are able to walk to work due to the close proximity of their homes to the medina. The art of leather making is passed on from father to son and artisans are extremely proud of their heritage and arts.
What is Worldstock?
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.

Ok but not as pictured
If you don't care about the color and design much then go for it. The ones I received were very light colored with green/red design on the top. Also a little smaller than shown.Read More

morocco ottoman
the ottoman pictured is not what was sent. It was reshipped 2 more times and each time it was not the one pictured. The ottoman's sent had a lot of color and decorations. The customer service is beyond expectations though and promptly tried to fix the issue.Read More
Nice look, leather is a bit cheap (thin)
We use this (we had another turquoise one) for the dogs to be able to jump up on the sofa - it's smaller than I expected - it looks nice, but the leather is a bit cheaper (thinner) than the last and doesn't seem as soft as leather should.Read More
Not as advertised - very disappointed
This ottoman arrived today and I'm very disappointed. It is much smaller than advertised, the leather is very rough, the design is tacky and the item leans to one side as the stuffing is uneven. It frankly looks cheap. I would not recommend this item and I'm disappointed I wasted my time on Overstock.com.Read More
Ottoman review
This ottoman is very poor quality. After 1 week it has become squashed down as if an elephant has been sitting on it. I am very sorry I purchased this. I do not want to spend anymore money on shipping is why I did not return it. Also I do not have the box. Pauline T.Read More
Pretty on top, not so on bottom
The poof arrived looking beautiful and as depicted when we opened the box. The leather work was lovely, and it was nicely shaped. When we turned it over however we noted that the leather was slit in several places (no where near where we used a scissor to slit the box packing tape). We returned the ottoman and ordered another. The 2nd arrived also looking beautiful on the top, but there was a hole at the bottom where the stuffing would be coming through soon. It almost seemed a different thinner grade of leather was used for the bottom, and it would not hold up to use in our home. Returning the 2nd and will look for another product.Read More
love these!
Purchased two of these recently. Both are level and great height to add seating around my coffee table. The inside is made of a shreded paper-ish type product but these have already been sat on multiple times and I haven't seen any leakage. These are not plushy and soft but that's not was I was looking for so that is perfect for me. Very solid pieces so far for me. When I got them in the mail however, I got one that looks like the picture and one with a different that was a slightly darker color. I love the fact that I got two different ones but I know some of you out there may not like that fact when ordering multiples. They both look great together and alone. Other ottomans simlar to this are in the 400$ price range so these were absolutely perfect. Leather looks very nice and I've gotten multiple compliments. Great way to add seating and decor without cluttering your visual space.Read More
Disappointed in the color(s).
Images show that the ottoman will be all neutral tones, browns beiges, tans, etc....but it came with green and red within the design work on the top and it makes it look gawdy. The images also show that the overall color of the leather ranges from darker brown to lighter brown and I was crossing my finger mine would be darker. Not the case, mine is light, light brown so the red and green in the design stand out. Quality seems good. Comfort wise I can't give it high ratings. Whatever they stuff it with is makes it hard. I bought it to use as an extra seat in our family room and it isn't much more comfortable than sitting on the floor other than the benefit of it being raised up. Size is nice and generous. Definitely matches description so no skimping there. I would be happy with the product, even the comfort level, if it weren't for the green and red colors woven into the design. It makes it look cheap (and the camel doesn't help but I knew that was going to be there). I may experiment with some oils or conditioners to try and darken and soften the leather and I am sure over time it will develop a nice patina that makes it fit into our rustic décor more readily.Read More
Questions & Answers
Liked it and needed it.
It fits the style of the living room, and provides additional seating
I need a footstool and this goes with the chair I will put it in front of.
I love the color and pattern.
Appears to be two different ottomans- am interested in the darker one with the squares with camels in the squares but most pics are of the lighter one. Is the darker one available? Thanks, Amanda
Since this is a World Stock item, the handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design so it is difficult to know if it will be lighter or darker one. Most of the reviews are happy with the color.
I am interested in this ottoman in the darker color only. Is the darker ottoman with the teal design on the camel available somewhere else on your site??
We apologize, we do not stock an ottoman in the darker color only. The only other ottoman we have that is like that one is item #13424363.

S.5814, Bonacic / A.5261-B, Paulin: In relation to legalizing physician-assisted suicide
Memorandum of Opposition
S.5814- A.5261B Legalizing Physician-Assisted Suicide (PDF)
The above-referenced bill would add a new section of the Public Health Law to allow physicians to prescribe lethal doses of medication for the express purpose of ending a patient's life.
The New York State Catholic Conference opposes this bill for the reasons outlined below.
Legalizing physician-assisted suicide would:
- Blur longstanding medical, moral and legal distinctions between withdrawing extraordinary medical assistance and taking active steps to destroy human life. One lets people die a natural death; the other is the deliberate and direct act of hastening death.
- Undermine the physician's role as healer, forever alter the doctor-patient relationship, and lessen the quality of care provided to patients at the end of life. Patients are best served when medical professionals, together with families and loved ones, provide support and care with dignity and respect, not lethal doses of drugs. The American Medical Association holds a policy position against physician-assisted suicide, which they say is "fundamentally incompatible with the physician's role" and would be "difficult or impossible to control."
- Lead to psychological, financial and other pressures for vulnerable persons to end their lives. In today's era of health care rationing and cost-cutting, physician-assisted suicide could easily rise to the level of the most acceptable, and even expected, "treatment" for terminal illness. In 1994, Governor Mario Cuomo's Task Force on Life & the Law released a report unanimously rejecting assisted suicide, and cautioned:
"No matter how carefully and guidelines are framed, assisted suicide and euthanasia will be practiced through the prism of social inequality and bias that characterizes the delivery of services in all segments of society, including health care. The practices will pose the greatest risks to those who are poor, elderly, members of a minority group or without access to good medical care. The growing concern about health care costs increases the risks. This cost consciousness will not be diminished, and may well be exacerbated, by health care reform."
Rather than assisting suicide, government should be consistent in its efforts to prevent suicide. It is illogical for the state to promote/facilitate suicide for one group of persons — calling the suicides of those with a terminal illness and a specific prognosis "dignified and humane," while recognizing suicide as a serious statewide public health concern in all other circumstances, and spending enormous resources to combat it.
Tremendous strides are being made by our state in suicide prevention, as evidenced by the State Office of Mental Health's suicide prevention projects, anti-bullying campaigns in the schools, suicide awareness training in prisons, and even extra safety precautions on bridges to discourage those feeling hopeless and depressed. These efforts, and their consistent message that "Life Is Worth Living," are undermined by this legislation.
Moreover, the double standard established by this bill is based entirely on disability. Those who are "terminal," predicted to die within six months, either are, or will become, disabled. They will likely lose their ability to do many of the things they formerly did and will need assistance in daily living. Offering this group of persons suicide assistance, rather than suicide prevention, is discrimination based on disability.
We urge the state to remove barriers and improve access to palliative care and hospice care for those in the final stages of terminal illness. Improved education and training of physicians in pain management, together with appropriate diagnosis and treatment for depression, would go a long way toward eliminating calls for suicide among the sick and the dying.
We strongly urge you to oppose this legislation.

New research shows that our brain displays a similar pattern of activity during dreams as it does during a mind-expanding drug trip. Psychedelic drugs such as LSD and magic mushrooms can profoundly alter the way we experience the world but little is known about what physically happens in the brain. New research, published in Human Brain Mapping, has examined the brain effects of the psychedelic chemical in magic mushrooms, called 'psilocybin,' using data from brain scans of volunteers who had been injected with the drug.
The study found that under psilocybin, activity in the more primitive brain network linked to emotional thinking became more pronounced, with several different areas in this network - such as the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex - active at the same time. This pattern of activity is similar to the pattern observed in people who are dreaming. Conversely, volunteers who had taken psilocybin had more disjointed and uncoordinated activity in the brain network that is linked to high-level thinking, including self-consciousness.
Psychedelic drugs are unique among other psychoactive chemicals in that users often describe 'expanded consciousness,' including enhanced associations, vivid imagination and dream-like states. To explore the biological basis for this experience, researchers analysed brain imaging data from 15 volunteers who were given psilocybin intravenously while they lay in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner. Volunteers were scanned under the influence of psilocybin and when they had been injected with a placebo
"What we have done in this research is begin to identify the biological basis of the reported mind expansion associated with psychedelic drugs," said Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris from the Department of Medicine, Imperial College London. "I was fascinated to see similarities between the pattern of brain activity in a psychedelic state and the pattern of brain activity

100 days of oil: Gulf life will never be the same
GRAND ISLE, La. A hundred days ago, shop owner Cherie Pete was getting ready for a busy summer serving ice cream and po-boys to hungry fishermen. Local official Billy Nungesser was planning his wedding. Environmental activist Enid Sisskin was preparing a speech about the dangers of offshore drilling. Then the oil rig Deepwater Horizon exploded off the coast of Louisiana, and in an instant, life along the Gulf Coast changed for good.

The Mess Of MeI'm not afraid of the end of timeMore Like This
but i'm afraid of my mind
and I'm paranoid that I'm blind
wigging out at the drop of a dime
Everyone wants to kill me, alive and dead
strangers, friends, even the voices in my head
Looking over my shoulder, lying in bed
maybe I should end myself instead?
What if I lose control?
Can't find the urge anymore
Who am I with this face I can't see
Looks just the same but I know its not me
I can't breathe, gasping for air
I wanna disappear
Please, just don't let anybody see
The mess made out of me
If You Only KnewIf you only knewMore Like This
How many times the voices told me to kill you
But I smile right on through
and you never had a clue
If I wanted to you would have died now
I've had the chance a hundred times by now
I'm soaked in bloody sins
it rots right through my skin
taking over from within
Until I don't know who I am
Split personality giving me blank spaces
cut away the skin Until I'm faceless
A shell with so many spirits passing through
But I can't tell which is delusion and what is true
Which was here first, am I even in control?
I could be me or her and you wouldn't know
Sometimes smiles mean hidden dark plans
and I got my arms behind my back because there's blood on my hands.
But no one can see it but me
and they just say I'm crazy
If you hear it enough, it'll become true
and everyone always said I'd never be as good as any of you
So I have all this hatred I hold down so tight
Bitterness so black, I can't see the light
I stuff it all down and turn off my feelings
Pretend to be normal wh
Humanity Slipping Through My FingersI cut open my heart to see whats insideMore Like This
only to find that it froze and died
and all that remains is nothing at all
tripping out, and seeing blood on the wall
these voices that call wanna eat my soul
with their claws having me in such a strong hold
I'm a walking freakshow, the demon's favorite psycho
the most fucked up creature you'll ever know
they told me "Find a heart"
so I ripped them apart
I've been hated from the start
Living in the dark.
Sour-faced and narrowed eyes
fallen from grace, am I even alive?
I wear a mask well
so no one can tell
but deep down I know
this sickness will send me to hell
Its not like I care, I see it everyday
and every fucking night, the demons come out to play
They won't go away, so its best you don't stay
trust me, trust me
You're much safer that way.
I really need some help
I'm afraid of myself
everyone keeps telling me
I'm going to hell.
The blood on my hands won't wash clean
and my mind replays the soundtrack of bloody screams.

Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton Reunite And Reminisce In Ibiza
It seems Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton are living a feud-free, simple life these days. The reality stars, both 33, reunited in Ibiza, Spain, on Saturday, Aug. 2 at designer Riccardo Tisci's birthday party, and appeared to pick up where they'd left off.
PHOTOS: Biggest celeb feuds ever
Kardashian posted a cute picture with her former heiress bestie with their arms wrapped around one another laughing.
"Reminiscing about the 1st time we went to Ibiza in 2006! @parishilton it was so good to see you & catch up!! Loves it lol," North West's mommy captioned the Instagram shot.
Long before she became the world's biggest reality star, Kardashian was Hilton's assistant during her time on the hit reality show "The Simple Life," and the childhood pals were inseparable for years. But in 2008, the notoriously opinionated blond mocked her pal's curvaceous backside in a radio interview, comparing it to "cottage cheese inside a big trash bag."
PHOTOS: Celebrity childhood friends
Since then they haven't been spotted together, despite Hilton issuing a formal apology. Earlier this month, the heiress played on the same charity kick ball team as Kardashian's younger half sister Kendall Jenner, and they were photographed laughing together.

Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by black pirate: First Celebrity cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Celebrity Eclipse Southern Caribbean Cruises
First Celebrity cruise
EMBARKATION: Our flight arrived at 10:30 am. We had our bags checked at the ship by 11:30. Check in was a breeze, there was no one in the Aquaclass line. Since it was still early, we had to wait in a small waiting area designated for Aquaclass and above. We boarded the ship approx. 12:00.
CABINS: We had an Aquaclass stateroom. Our bed was close to the veranda. For some reason the cabin around the veranda door creaked. It only added to the ambiance. We also noticed some vibration. The embarkation champagne, the daily canapes, the 2 bottles of water daily were a nice touch. Storage space was at a premium on a 14 day cruise. We probably both over packed. There is not enough drawer space in the living and sleep are of the cabin. The bathroom has an over capacity of storage space.
DINING: I am a buffet type guy. I like variety. The oceanview cafe did not get boring even after 14 days. The made to order omelet stations are efficient and better run than any More other ship we have sailed on. We ate at the Blu 4-5 nights. A very nice experience.
ENTERTAINMENT: The ship wide music was mostly 70's, 80's 90's disco, funk, rock, soul. Sometimes the music was from the original artist. More often than not familiar songs were produced in an easy listening waiting in the lobby type version. There is never enough up beat island music. Another good thing, there was no rap. The shows were extremely euro-centric. We found ourselves in our cabin with the do not disturb sign on our door by 9:00. Mostly because I was up at 6:00 every morning looking to catch the sun rise.
SERVICE: Osman our cabin steward was top notch. Less

Anti-Christian graffiti raise alarm before Pope's Holy Land visit
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Roman Catholic Church in Jerusalem, preparing for a papal visit later this month, has expressed alarm over threats to Christians scrawled by suspected Jewish extremists on church property in the Holy Land.
In an incident on Monday, "Death to Arabs and Christians and all those who hate Israel" was daubed in Hebrew on an outer column of the Office of the Assembly of Bishops at the Notre Dame Center in East Jerusalem.
Abbas calls Holocaust "most heinous crime" against humanity
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the Nazi Holocaust "the most heinous crime" against humanity in modern times, in an apparent bid to build bridges with Israel days after troubled peace talks collapsed.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the overture on Sunday, saying Abbas's Palestinian power-sharing deal with Hamas, which led Israel to suspend the negotiations on Thursday, put him in partnership with an Islamist group that denies the Holocaust and seeks the Jewish state's destruction.
Israel suspends peace talks after Palestinian unity bid
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel on Thursday suspended U.S.-sponsored peace talks with the Palestinians in response to President Mahmoud Abbas's unexpected unity pact with the rival Islamist Hamas group.
The negotiations had appeared to be heading nowhere even before Wednesday's reconciliation agreement between the Palestinian groups plunged them deeper into crisis. The United States had been struggling to extend the talks beyond an original April 29 deadline for a peace accord.
Netanyahu tells Abbas to choose peace partner: Hamas or Israel
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday over just-revived unity talks with Hamas, saying he had to choose between peace with Israel or its Islamist enemy.
Delegates from Abbas's Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Hamas representatives held a fence-mending session on Tuesday in the Gaza Strip, their first since a 2007 conflict in which forces loyal to Western-backed Abbas lost control of the enclave to the militant group, an opponent of peace with Israel.
Israel appropriates land in West Bank: newspaper
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel has carried out a new land appropriation in the occupied West Bank, the Haaretz daily said on Sunday, in a move that could complicate efforts to extend troubled peace talks with the Palestinians.
Haaretz said the Defense Ministry declared nearly 250 acres of territory in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc just south of Jerusalem "state land".
Netanyahu orders cutback in contacts with Palestinian Authority
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel announced on Wednesday a partial freeze in high-level contacts with the Palestinians in retaliation for their signing of international conventions, deepening a crisis that threatens to wreck U.S.-brokered peace talks.
A spokesman for the Palestinian Authority (PA), which exercises limited self-rule in the occupied West Bank, said Israeli-Palestinian ministerial meetings were rare but voiced concern that the step could be followed by economic sanctions.
Israel, Palestinians press on with peace talks rescue bid
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli and Palestinian negotiators ended another U.S.-mediated session on Tuesday with no sign of a breakthrough in efforts to save peace talks from collapse, but an Israeli official said they had agreed to meet again.
In a statement about the latest discussions, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said: "Gaps remain but both sides are committed to narrow the gaps."
